Eltahir Hussan, Ali Hamouda, HassanChaib

In this study, an automatic fuzzy logic irrigation controller with two sensors, water pump, Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) has been designed and implemented in Khartoum Sudan. The motor was used for driving deep well pump which has been used for irrigation process. Optimum solar panels were selected according to calculated maximum power consumption of motors. The need of energy of BLDC Motors has been provided from solar panels and batteries. A DC-DC buck converter has been developed to feed motor and charge the batteries safely. The controller inputs come from soil moisture sensors and temperature sensor the output of the controller is on off signal to control dc motor and solenoid valves according to the plant needed.
